Default Re: SEIV Gold and Satellites

The increased weapon range for satellite mounts is fine, but what may be more useful is spreading the satellites in a ring formation around the planet or warp point or basically the center of the tactical map. Keep the large group that shows up on the game map.

Something like a six or eight point ring that divides the satellites as evenly as possible amongst the points. Or, maybe incorporate the coding used for fleets to allow a formation to be assigned to a satellite group. Except it might require a separate entry for default formation since things like the Dark Wing and Compact formation don't really work that well for planetary and warp point defense.

Hm. Maybe something similar for fighters could be used as well. Except each point on the formation should place as many units as the default group size until they run out of units.
